Got nuthin' good to say? STFU.
We opened for Jimmy Page on his Outrider tour and he was an absolute gentleman throughout the whole tour. Went well above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Don't know where you get that one from.............
I had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy Page once backstage. He came over to me and struck up a brief conversion…very polite and seemed sincerely interested in my thoughts about music.

Maybe from stories like the one where he basically kidnapped a 14-year-old girl and held her as a sex slave for over 3 years?
Well, I don't know about 'stories'. I am just going off personal experience of being around the guy when we toured with him. That is all I can comment on.
Not meaning to slight you at all and very cool you actually met and opened for him. I think it just highlights the fact that it is difficult to really "know" someone as hugely famous as an Eddie Van Halen or Jimmy Page.
I didn't say I 'knew' him. Just that he was nothing but a gentleman when we toured with him. What was he like when you toured with him?
Um, ok. My statement was an apology highlighting the fact that I think it's very cool you met and toured with him. It's more than I will ever be able to say.
Eddie is a classic lifetime alcoholic. I know many and they are all the same. The way they talk. Their body language. They lash out at those who gave them the shirt off their back. My mother is exactly the same after 40 years of alcoholism.
